ASTROLOGY PHILIPPINES

By Romy Solina  According to John Stott in his book The Incomparable Christ, "Since Jesus was a human being, however, he was also a historical figure, who lived at a particular time in a particular place and within a particular culture. These particularities were all part of his historical reality. To deny them would be to reject some essential aspects of his destiny." Thus, I am going to write about my researches regarding the humanness of Jesus and not deal with theology. I am to restrict myself to being an amateur astrologer and consider Jesus as a human person who is also subjected to planetary influences. In astrology, the most basic and important data to work on are the date, time and place of birth of the subject. In the case of Jesus, I can only depend on what the Bible gave as information regarding His life. Everybody knows He was born in Bethlehem. But as to the date and time, I shall have to depend on some historical tidbits that are related to His existe...

By PinoyGTrader ( pinoygtrader.blogspot.com ) Astrology would never be more exciting and  give as much enthusiasm  to anyone especially when there’s money involved. There is a branch of astrology called FINANCIAL ASTROLOGY. It is the use of astronomical data to explain and forecast the behavior of the financial markets (as defined below).  As one of the countless few who  was first a skeptic and later became drawn to these new science, especially if you are already involved in the study of astrology or already a practicing astrologer.  As an engineer by profession and a trader, in back testing  results and running statistical analysis, and in my pursuit on finding the most consistent trading system or the holy grail of trading – astrological trading methodology aided with modern technical analysis and market geometry as by far on my experience one of the best and reliable system that can give me consistent results statistically if done properly. ...

By Resti H. Santiago Andres Bonifacio The concept of fate was not very popular in the 20th century because the previous century's mantra was all about freedom. This may partly explain why astrology has to be reformulated. But denying fate would not eliminate it from our lives. If we are to believe Plato's "Myth of Er," fate is actually an agreement or arrangement that we had with God, sealed by the Fates, prior to one's incarnation. Denying that there is no binding agreement does not free us from what has actually been agreed upon. It is for this reason that I want to emphasize that despite 20th century thought, fate still exists. But that does not mean there is no free will. A more realistic approach that astrology can show is that there is fate, and there is free will. The reason why astrologers can make predictions is because there is fate. The reason why astrologers can err in their interpretation is because there is free will. Clotho, from where...

By Resti H. Santiago ( astro-medieval.blogspot.com )  The Great Comet of 1807 depicted in this painting by Esteban Villanueva 2013 is going to be a special year as the earth will be visited by a comet, it is named ISON. Astronomers have calculated that this object will become visible by November. According to their analysis, ISON will shine brighter than the full moon. Comets are important in astrology but due to its rarity, we cannot make very precise predictions using comets alone. There are many details that will only become clear once the comet is already blazing in the sky. The shape and the color of the comets are categorized to correspond with the planets. The basic principle is that if the comet is like the benefic planets, there will be abundance, but if the shape and color is associated with the malefic planets, there will war, pestilence or the likes. Skeptics might think that this is superstition, but we have historical records that show clear connectio...

By Resti H. Santiago ( astro-medieval.blogspot.com ) Just like the weatherman, one of the astrologer's functions is to give timely warnings. This was indeed the case in the medieval times. Slowly, as ancient books of astrology are being resurrected through translation, the tools and techniques of the old masters are being understood and applied in the 21st century. Perhaps the best example of this is in the prediction of typhoons. In this period of climate change, the astrological view of the natural world holds true more than ever, especially if you live in a country like the Philippines, which is the first destination of most weather disturbances that originate from the vast Pacific Ocean. The author has correctly predicted the date when Yolanda/Haiyan would be formed and the range of dates wherein it could be felt. With more testing, astro-meteorological predictions can be seen as being reliable and consistent. See http://astrologyphilippines.blogspot.com/2013/09/astro-...

By Lilly Alcantara The Uranus glyph looks like an antenna. Sometimes it is good to take a break from reading about the knowledge of other astrologers and invent one's own. After all, all throughout the ages it was how astrology blossomed and branched out.  As this author had kept repeating to herself over the years she had studied the art of astrology - astrology is an intuitive study. It takes a degree of imagination and thinking out of the box to uncover its secrets.  Usually the systematic way works, but testing one's own theories can help one test how well one has grasped the concept. The Universe has blessed the author with a 00 degree Aries Mercury, the symbol of new beginnings. This author would be wasting it if she did not invent a few new concepts of her own. Take for example the relatively new planet Uranus (in terms of discovery). Named after the husband of Gaia, Mother Earth, who gave birth to the Titans, astrologers have had no idea about its existence...

By Walter Ang Mercury glyph. The R with a line through its right leg is the symbol for retrograde. Mercury will be retrograde from Oct. 20 to Nov. 9 (or Oct. 21 to Nov. 10), depending on which side of Earth you are. In astrology, when a planet is in retrograde, it seems (from our vantage point here on Earth) that it’s going backwards in its path in the sky. When this happens, its “powers” are “reduced” or “introverted.” Inspired by the Greek myths were Mercury (the deity) is the messenger of the gods, Mercury (the planet) rules communications and transportation. So whenever it is in retrograde, you get static in the air where “people don’t say what they mean and they don’t mean what they say.” It’s important to note that they (and you) will not be doing it deliberately, it’s just that we’re all affected by the retrograde. But don’t panic. It’s not all bad news. There are certain activities that do well under this kind of energy. Here are 8 tips on how to deal...

By Resti H. Santiago  ( astro-medieval.blogspot.com ) I am not fond on predicting earthquakes because not much preparation can be done compare with typhoons. We can see typhoons form and develop and what we do beforehand can somehow determine how much we will be affected by it.  That cannot be said about earthquakes. But I have been getting more corrects hits. Last year, I was able to predict two earthquakes.   However, let it be clear that what astrologers are predicting are not the usual 3-4 magnitude earthquakes.   Astrologers' predictions on earthquake range from magnitude 5 to higher magnitudes.   Forecast review:  From Medieval astro-clock 2012 /October:  Mild earthquake in October: ☑ News: Magnitude 5.8 quake strikes of Sarangani   Forecast review:  From Medieval astro-clock 2012 / February:  Mars in the 4th house .. can indicate destruction of crops. ☑ News:Magnitude 6.7 e...

By Jamal Ashley Abbas Read  PART 1 . Capricornian strong government Capricorn represents the Earth, Governments, Big Business, Money, the Elites, Responsibility, Authoritarianism, Rules and Tight Control. The Americans now have a very Strong Presidency courtesy of the Patriot Act as well as other laws that impinge on individual privacy such as the one, approved by US Supreme Court in 2006, requiring US companies to keep track of their employees’ email, instant messages and other electronic documents. And through the economic crisis in 2008, the Federal Reserve has taken over the banking, insurance and mortgage industries while making millions of Americans homeless in the process. The American government may have forgotten that the last time Pluto was in Capricorn, restrictive laws – the 1764 Sugar Act, Quartering Act and Stamp Act of 1765,  Tea Act of 1773, and the five so-called Intolerable Acts of 1774 -- led to the American War of Independence. The Ameri...

By Jamal Ashley Abbas  Remember, remember!  The fifth of November,   the Gunpowder treason and plot;  I know of no reason why the Gunpowder treason should ever be forgot! -  English Folk Verse (c.1870). Pluto glyph The world entered a new epoch in 2008, one that is changing socio-political reality as we know it. Pluto, that tiny planetoid in distant space, has the power to affect Earthlings in world-shattering ways. Pluto, in Greco-Roman mythology, is the powerful god of the Underworld. In astrology, Pluto represents Destruction, Rebirth, Mob, Dictators, Sex, Money, Earthquakes, Mass Movements and the Nuclear Bomb. Pluto in Capricorn   Pluto entered Capricorn in late January 2008, returned to Sagittarius in June, came back to Capricorn in November and will stay there until January 2024. And the world can expect disasters in the worst form as all hell could break lose.  First, Big Business and Strong Governments will take over. Inst...

By Isabel Sofia Apollo was the god of the sun. He and his twin, Artemis, took charge of the main sources of our light and heat, the sun and moon. One day as they began learning the duties of the sun and the moon, Apollo began wondering about what's so special being the sun god. One day while he was still learning about what sun gods do, he skipped class. He visited Helios, the sun god before Apollo. He ran as fast as he could to catch Helios before he left for his daily trip from East to West. He managed to see Helios preparing for his daily trip. “Helios!” he shouted. “Oh, hi Apollo! Want to join me on my daily trip around the Earth? You can come if you want,” he replied. “Really?” Apollo said. “Sure, you can come. It’ll be happening soon anyway.” “Thanks Helios!” “Hurry then, the mortals will be wondering soon where the sun is.” “How do you travel from East to West, Helios?” Apollo asked curiously. “By using the Sun Chariot! You’ve never heard o...
